Great. And I see no reason to change it. :yesnod:

It's got thumbs up from confirmed knowledgeable nerds, and not just you Gums, multiple friends IRL.

Peerblock actually works, I think.  Good stuff.

All I see is that I'm downloading at a huge clip while my upload is 0 or a few bits.

BSD is not linux or anywhere near....

Also, I'll add that tip to the first post. Good idea.




You want a beowulf cluster. Built out of linux boxes. Or I guess BSD boxes if you believe what you read here...

iuvfungi's guide to the internet

Install Ubuntu or Fedora.


Go to Google.com
type in "site:craigslist.org laminar flow hood"  without the quotes, duh or click here

or

"site:ebay.com fungi"

It searches the entire website nationally for craigslist.org and ebay.com in this case.

I agree with everything Gumby said in the first post. However I'd change a few things.

1) FUCK AIM COMPLETELY. Get an AIM Screen name from here.
https://reg.my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/registration/initRegistration.psp?siteId=aimregistrationPROD&authLev=1&mcState=initialized&createSn=1&triedAimAuth=y&mcAuth=%2FBcAG0vXdbkAAPd7CjgqH0vXdfUIeaqqC%2BtwVRYAAA%3D%3D

Than download Pidgin from here, "http://www.pidgin.im/" It's probably the best all in one Instant Messaging Service out there. Also has more plug-ins and security supplies than any other out there.

2.) Fuck an Anti Virus, they're a virus themselves. Use common sense when on the internet and don't click anything you're wary of. Install Malwarebytes Anti Malaware. Get the keygen from btjunkie.org and set it on protection. Update almost every time you log on, they're always updating. THOUGH, if you choose to get an anti virus. Get 1 of these.
BitDefender, Kasperskies, or ESET nod32. ESET has a history of NEVER missing ONE Virus EVER. Though there removal sucks ass.

3.) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING THIS SYSTEM UTILITY PROGRAM. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE SITE AS A TRIAL OR YOU CAN GET THE FULL VERSION FROM ANY TORRENT SITE. Advanced System Optimizer.

4.) Anything windows generally is to blame for all problems. Get Linux.

5.) CCLeaner also with Defragg are both really great programs to have, as well as the Advanced System Optimizer.

did you really just recommend people to not use an antivirus?  And then you called it a virus itself?

Personally i think your a virus trying to trick your reader's minds into lowering there defences to let you and your virus minion lords in.

Also trillian is another option for instant messaging, and you can access it from anywhere with an internet connection with no software needed to install.

hilarious thread, but you forgot to mention one of the primary rules of the internets: STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ANYTHING MCAFEE. Also look into TrueCrypt to encrypt your HD's when you inevitably forget to run peerblock and get owned.

I agree, but I don't recommend that the average Joe try to clean out a laptop by taking it apart, laptops are like complicated puzzles. I've been repairing laptops for 13 years and the last time I took apart my Toshiba laptop to clean it I ended up with 5 extra screws once the thing was all put together. :confused:

Do not try and replace the parts. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

That there are no parts.

Then you'll see, that it is not the parts that need replaced, it is only yourself.

This. I've taken that thing apart so many times I can do it with mah eyes closed. But if you don't know what you're doing, don't.

PC-Cillin isn't the best AV, I wouldn't even call it good. It misses a lot of malware.
